Graves Disease: 21 year old struggling with a recent diagnosis
Hi I’ve recently been diagnosed with Graves Disease and I feel like my life is over. Although nausea doesn’t seem to be a common symptom, it’s the worse for me. It’s stopped me from working, although it’s gotten better, I feel it would still prevent me from working the best I can. Can people still work

Help Needed With Underactive thyroid
I was diagnosed with overactive thyroid back in 2004, was treated with radioactive Iodine which seems to have killed my thyroid and have never felt well since. Weight gain, dry hair and skin, muscle weakness, muscle spasms and extreme fatigue, I am on 125mg levo. I also self medicate with 2000ui Vit

Help with Thyroid tests from UAE
My son lives in Abu Dhabi UAE, and has been 100% gluten free for four years. Family members' blood tests were negative for coeliac, but were false negatives. My grandmother had thyroid disease; my sister is hypo, I had Graves, RAI and now hypo. I had to add T3 in 2016 as I wasn't converting and was very

Just joined group.
Hi all just joined group today. I was diagnosed with a overactive thyroid just over two years ago. I was on carbimazole for a year before my endo suggested I have iodine treatment. That was 14 months ago and now have a underactive thyroid and take 175mcg of levothyroxine. I have read a few posts on here

Blood results after Iron IV and ditching veganism
Writing to announce a big improvement in my Ferritin, Iron and B12 levels after having two Iron IVs and discontinuing vegan diet. To my shock almost all of my blood results have improved since going back to meat (paleo) - not something I expected! Usually we hear all about people getting healthier

Help with DIO1/DIO2 DNA results
Evening all! My DNA results have highlighted genes DIO1/DIO2 as BAD. This must be why previously I felt so awful on T4 only. I currently take 150mcg T4 and 20mcg T3 and can function, but there’s so much room for improvement. Would I now benefit from T3 only? I also previously had T3 mono- therapy (

Positive outcome after 3 eylea injections
After the initial three loading injections my retina has now returned to normal state (flat) and visual acuity has improved from 6/12 to 6/9 in the affected left eye. Quite a remarkable outcome for now. I had a 4th injection two days ago to try and clear very small amounts of "cysts" left behind. The

Anyone had radioactive iodine ?
Hi All, I've recently seen private endo consultant. I was hoping to come off carbimazole as I believe 50% of people can do without it about 2-3 years as sometimes the thyroid corrects itself. I'm only on 5mg daily. Unfortunately recent blood tests show by thyroid is now overactive so been requested to

Painful injections
I have a question I am beginning to believe the horrible pain I feel about 2-3 minutes after and injection that lasts for about 45 minutes is from the cleansing solution??? I never felt this before my dr office went from numbing gel drops to numbing liquid drops that do not last as long or work as well

Iodine
Diagnosed with Graves' disease 5yrs ago had RAI now on levothyroxine 100mcgs daily . Have read some conflicting reports on taking Iodine . Should I be taking it ? My blood results are within normal rang with the exception of T3 which is 3.01 a little low .

Thyroid and Adrenals both, how to heal?
My main issues right now is this debilitating fatigue, and general weakness, both mental and physical. I get tired from just thinking (or remembering even, processing info, etc) from taking my Dog out for a walk, from reading a few sentences, doing easy, basic mundane daily tasks. It’s like this constant

Anyone here had RAI done for Graves?
I was diagnosed with Graves on july 2016 and took carbimazole for 3 months only. I was on remission after that until January this year. I dont have Goiter or eye probelms. Now I am hyper again and my specialist suggested RAI. Any ideas about RAI?

Iron deficiency is associated with Hypothyroxinemia and Hypotriiodothyroninemia in the Spanish general adult population: Di@bet.es study
Interesting - patients found to have reduced FT4 and reduced FT3 associated with lower ferritin levels. But without change of TSH. Surely, if the TSH test is so exquisitely sensitive and is the best test for hypothyroidism, it would reveal the lower FT4 and FT3 levels regardless of ferritin level?

So confused! Can anyone help me make sense of blood results & advise on supplements?
Hi All, so a couple of weeks ago I was told my thyroid was a little underactive and prescribed a low dose of Levothyroxine. (25mcg). I assumed it was my TSH the GP meant but I got my blood results and that and my T4 are fine, T3 is a little low. I don't understand, reading other people's experiences
